“The naughtiest thing I ever did was write my name on the side of my dad’s car when I was five,” shared my Great-Aunt, Lea Irvine, as she sat in a lawn chair drinking chocolate milk. Even though I hadn’t seen her in years, she didn’t look a day over 50.

Dudley Elementary students enjoyed their lunches outside on May 14. The day was a partial school day for all students and ended with them being released for the summer. When the Gothenburg Times stopped by to take a photo of the seventh graders, since they missed taking their sixth grade class photo last year due to COVID, the students were laughing and talking about their summer plans. Immediately after the school year ended, you could see students wandering around town with fishing poles or their bikes. (Photo by, Ashley Mohler)

On Thursday morning, the Gothenburg Chamber Ambassadors presented the Gothenburg Historical Museum with a Thank You For Your Faith Award. This award represents all the hard work the museum’s volunteers put in. Even though the pandemic kept them from opening in 2020, they remodeled the basement, created new displays, and gathered new artifacts. The Historical Museum’s doors officially open to the public on May 18. They will be open from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Photo courtesy of Deb Egenberger)
